GP-based methodology for HW/SW co-synthesis of multiprocessor embedded systems with increasing number of individuals obtained by mutation

Abstract

In this work, a genetic programming methodology for co-synthesis of multiprocessor systems is presented. Genotype is a tree which nodes include system construction procedures. Thus the design methodology is evolving. Next generations are obtained using genetic operators: mutation, reproduction and crossover. Unlike other algorithms in presented methodology number of individuals obtained by mutation operator is not const. Therefore number of individuals in each population is increasing. The size of final generation is found by the algorithm.
